Turn out is critical. Keep April 1st on your calendars for open US House seats. Seats like Matt Gaetz’s seat in Florida is up for elections on April 1st. Help win back the House. Turn out is critical.

As America is being torn apart, weakened, and sold to the highest bidder, I think about all the folks who told me, "Well, it won't be THAT bad" and "We survived 4 years of Trump..." and "The systems will hold." All of them are privileged and well-off. Alas. We're all in it now.

Tonight, our campaign’s victory belongs to the thousands of Floridians who believe we can make things better. I’ve seen firsthand the struggles families across our communities face every day. Whether you’re an Independent, Democrat, or Republican, you’re my neighbor, and I will fight for you.

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

It's so weird how the party that likes to claim their opponents are radical Maoists or Stalinists are engaging in purges of the military, the Justice Department, & dozens of other federal agencies at a scale that is far far far beyond anything any incoming administration in US history has ever done.

Today, I spoke to 13News Now about rumors Trump may fire General CQ Brown as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump has since fired him. Trump is purging those who put their oath to preserve, protect and defend the U.S. Constitution over blind loyalty to him.

Here’s a wild stat. Between the passage Anti-Drug Abuse Act in 1988 and the Crime Bill of 1994, not even ONE (1) white person was convicted of a federal crack offense in all of Los Angeles; the so-called War On Drugs.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...
